Dear Clients,
As we enter this next month of the COVID-19 outbreak, our team is offering one-on-one coaching via phone and video calls. In-person training is our forte, but this new method has been a great experience for our young coaches to continue working, for you to continue learning, and for all of us to maintain physical distance while increasing social connectioin. For a limited time, we will charge just $39.95 per session with an experienced coach, as well as free and low-cost sessions to seniors who can't afford to pay. We look forward to sharing the possibilities of what you can do online!
These past several weeks have confirmed what we already knew: the need for physical distance is evident, but the value of sharing resources and a helping hand is powerful. We look forward to connecting with you!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
VIRTUAL COACHING: How does it work?
It's pretty fun! You contact us to schedule a session. We can "meet with you" via telephone call, or a video calling software like FaceTime, Jit.si, Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts, or a number of other video conferencing tools -- and WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO USE THEM! You can remain in the comfort of your home or any other location that has phone or internet service. You will speak live with an 5-star rated, experienced, Teeniors® coach, and you can ask for helping with anything you'd like to learn to do with the electronics of your choice: cell phone, tablet, computer, smartTV, or anything on the internet, like how to create an account, how to order something, how to apply for something, how to text, email, send pictures or use social media.
How do I book an appointment or group event?
Call (505) 600-1297 or email us at teeniors@gmail.com. Tell us what you'd like to learn to do, when you would like the session to take place, and a member of our team will contact you to set you up! If you leave a voicemail, you'll hear back from us within 24 hours (but usually the same day). Our offices are closed on Sundays, but coaching is available 7 days a week!
I have a Kindle / Apple TV / Smart TV / Amazon Echo / PC. Can Teeniors help me out with any of this stuff?
YES! Those items and a whole lot more! Our Teeniors have expertise in a variety of technologies, and we have "Teenior Pro" coaches who can help with devices and software that require a more advanced skillset! Call or email to learn more.
My internet or printer isn't working / my phone doesn't text or sometimes drops calls. Can you help me?
The answer is probably! Great question, as we are here to help with basic technology (i.e. operating your device, learning new apps and software, setting up your printer/computer/cell phone/smart TV, etc.) But sometimes clients have a problem that has to do with their cell phone company, internet provider, or another issue that requires an outside technician. Most of the time, your coach will be able to assess the problem and even solve the problem in person. However, during Covid, we are now working with you over the phone and online, so we stand by the same hopes, but you will need to pay coaching fee either way to assess the situation. We will always let you know whether your problem is something we can help with, or whether you’ll need to reach out to your an outside technician or another professional. If you need help with the latter, we can also arrange time to have a coach help you make that call.
Do you offer training sessions in areas outside of Central NM?
YES! "Virtual Coaching' (tutoring via phone and video calls) allows us to help anyone, anywhere. However during Covid-19 and this isolation period, we have yet to return to in-person coaching. We continue to grow and are constantly evaluating ways to reach more communities. If you are interested in learning about in-person coaching in other areas outside of New Mexico once the isolation of Covid-19 passes, or if you have questions or suggestions you’d like us to hear, please contact our founder directly: (505) 600-1297 | trish@teeniors.com.
I'm low income. Why do you charge for Teeniors?
Great question, as we know that times are hard for many people. To pay the bills, is the short answer. Part of the mission of Teeniors™ is to provide paid, meaningful jobs to teens and young adults. And like any other small business or nonprofit, we need to cover costs of running the organization (office rent, payroll, legal fees, printed materials, website and development, software, advertising - just to name a few expenses). Our coaches are paid above minimum wage, and we offer a phenomenal service for your money. We also take our work very seriously. Our coaches apply to become teeniors. They are recommended by teachers and parents, interviewed, screened and oriented to work with you as a tutor. Only the most impressive young adults are kept as part of our elite team . Volunteers simply would not be sustainable in the long run, and we strive to be self-sustaining. We are confident that you'll find your coaching session to be worth every penny. However - as of 2019, we have also earned grant money that allows us to reach more seniors who identify as low-income, and thus do not have to pay or can pay a deeply reduced rate. Please contact us to learn more.
How much does it cost to hire a teenior or book a group event?
As of July 2018, our private, one-on-one coaching sessions start at $49.95 per hour (with slight variations depending on location). Since the outbreak of Covid-19, we have created "virtual coaching" at a limited time rate of $39.95 per hour. Our average group events range between $300-500 depending on the number of attendees being coached and thus, the number of teeniors / staff needed, as we prioritize personalized coaching. We receive continuous 5-star reviews from clients and stand proudly by our work. Visit our testimonials page to learn more.
IN PERSON (Postponed): Where will we meet for our private coaching session?
Anywhere you choose! We can meet at your home, our downtown office, a local senior center, coffee shop or library. Teeniors™ strives to arrange sessions that are comfortable and convenient for your needs.
IN PERSON (Postponed): How does a "private coaching session" work?
Our primary goal is to empower older adults to connect with loved ones and the world through technology, while also providing paid, meaningful jobs to youth. We charge far less than our competitors, and while we strive to be self-sustaining, we are also aware that not everyone can afford to pay. This is why we provide pro-bono coaching for low-income clients in our effort to help seniors from all walks of life. Contact us for more information at (505) 600-1297 or teeniors@gmail.com.

Anywhere you choose! We can meet at your home, our downtown office, a local senior center, coffee shop or library. Teeniors™ strives to arrange sessions that are comfortable and convenient for your needs.
IN PERSON (Postponed): How does a "private coaching session" work?
- First, we'll ask what kind of device you have (i.e. iPhone, Kindle, Windows laptop...) and what you'd like to learn to do. Then we'll set up the when and where.
- Second, we'll call or email you with a confirmation of your coach's name and all the details for your session.
- Your Teeniors coach will meet you wearing a bright yellow "Teeniors" shirt so that you can easily identify him or her. You're also welcome to ask for photo ID.
- Our teeniors are fantastic personal tutors, so we continuously get 5-star reviews. They are patient, kind and love their work. Most importantly though, they understand what it's like learning a new technology. You can always ask them slow down, speak up, repeat things, and show you again, step-by-step how something is done. This is your coaching session.
- Private sessions in our office are supervised by an adult staff member; home coaching takes place with a 'teenior' who is 18 years of age or older.
